Linking Statewide Tests to the National Assessment of Educational Progress: Stability of Results.

Linn, Robert L.; Kiplinger, Vonda L.

Applied Measurement in Education, v8 n2 p135-55 1995

The adequacy of linking statewide standardized test results to the National Assessment of Educational Progress by using equipercentile equating procedures was investigated using statewide mathematics data from four states. Results suggest that the linkings are not sufficiently trustworthy to make comparisons based on the tails of the distribution. (SLD)
